22 October

The JBL PRX800W series is the most advanced PA in its class. Wi-Fi technology and sophisticated DSP give you complete control over the tuning and performance of your system—from anywhere in the venue—via the free PRX Connect app. An efficient 1500-watt class-D amplifier and patented JBL Differential Drive® technology provide best-in-class power handling while greatly reducing system weight. And the rugged all-wood cabinets feature a redesigned input panel and universal power supply for easy, reliable operation at gigs worldwide. Designed to deliver legendary JBL sound for bands, DJs and more, PRX800W represents the next generation in smart live sound reinforcement.

With six different models for total versatility, the PRX800W Series is purposefully designed from the ground up to deliver legendary JBL sound—representing the next generation in smart live sound reinforcement.

Complete Wireless Control with the PRX Connect App

PRX800W is the first PA system in its class to feature complete wireless control via Wi-Fi. The PRX Connect mobile app for iOS and Android connects wirelessly to every speaker, offering full control over the powerful built-in DSP. Set up, configure and optimize the performance of your live sound system—faster than ever before.

Walk around the venue during sound check and fine-tune your speakers to sound better as a system. Use the 8-band EQ, speaker delay, mute, gain and more to make sure your audience hears great sound from every corner of the room. It’s easy to configure shows offline and save presets. You can even find any connected speaker instantly with the useful Locator function.

Powerful JBL Sound, Compact Design

With integrated 1500-watt Class-D power amplifiers, PRX800W is the most powerful, efficient system in its class. Patented JBL Differential Drive™ woofer technology reduces magnet mass while increasing power handling, making PRX800W a remarkably lightweight system capable of delivering clear, pristine audio at extraordinarily high volumes.

Tour-Proven Reliability

We designed the PRX800W series to perform flawlessly—even on the toughest tours. PRX800W speakers utilize the finest construction materials, including durable wooden cabinets, tour-proven DuraFlex™ finish and dent-resistant 16-gauge grilles. And comprehensive testing—including the famous JBL 100-hour power test—ensures reliability in any environment.

Industry-Leading HARMAN Technology

The PRX800W series combines technology from HARMAN’s industry-leading live sound brands to deliver unprecedented performance. The electronics and input panel are derived from top-tier Crown DSP and user interface technologies. dbx Type IV™ limiting eases the system back to a safe level when any frequency band is in limit, ensuring that the sound is clear, accurate and uncompressed—even at high volume.

Flexibility for Any Gig

The PRX800W series delivers versatility for any performance environment. A flexible interface and universal power supply give you complete control over your setup anywhere worldwide, with XLR, 1/4” and RCA inputs alongside multiple professional outputs. And because all JBL speakers feature the same legendary sound quality, PRX800W can be used with other JBL systems.

Proven JBL Quality

The world’s top artists and venues trust JBL to deliver incredible sound. That’s because over the past 70 years, we’ve invested more into R&D than any other speaker company. PRX800W features innovative components like a new variable-speed fan that activates only when needed for ultra-quiet operation. And the speakers are tuned for flat frequency response and smooth off-axis behaviour to ensure pristine sound throughout the venue.
